I've been leafleting with colleagues in Beddington North ward in London borough of Sutton. As usual the Lib Dems are manically leafleting the ward to hold onto their three councillors. The result this time is uncertain. My logic is that if people are concerned with the incinerator, which is located in the ward, they shouldn't look further than someone who has fought 10 years to to stop it. The above newspaper article is from 2009 and I am using it at a basis for the final leaflet. Labour and the Tories also think they will win this ward. Basically, everyone standing genuinely thinks they can win and this will lower the threshold to finish in the top three.

Anti-incinerator campaigner Nick Mattey is standing as an independent with two others and he is throwing everything into the campaign. Nick is bit like Marmite, not everyone's favourite yeast base spread.

I bumped into him when leafleting and it was good that we still have good respect for each other even though we in a battle to win the seat.

I am also standing in Reigate and Banstead council elections in my home ward.
